Well, I suffered a loss of control over a pond this weekend with my P2. I was flying rather irresponsibly and entered a vortex ring with lots of pitch/roll oscillations. Splash.
I ran over, grabbed the drone out of the water, then brought it home to open it up and let it dry in the sun. It still functions as far as I can tell, but the battery wasn't so lucky. It's relatively new, less than 30 cycles. Due to unfavorable lighting conditions, I wasn't able to recover it until about 6hrs later. The circuitry was totally corroded and the battery refused to charge. The cells, however, all showed acceptable voltage values with no external damage. I removed the board and charged them to roughly 80% using an external charger. Gonna keep them in storage until I can figure out what to do with them. |
